  Speaker 1: Good morning family, Good morning God bless you. Welcome back
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: to the Morning DeVos, your brother Sam Lopez. I feel
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: much better today. I had to take a couple of
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: days off because I was I don't know what happened.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I got the shivers and I woke up and all
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: messed up the one day. Amen. But thank you for
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: your prayers. Thank you Lord Jesus for your grace and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: your mercy upon me. Amen. And I feel much better today.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited to be back in the studio. Amen.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Today we're going to continue on the theme of evangelism,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the theme on reaching out to people with the gospel message. Amen.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And today I'm calling this one spiritually lost people. There
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: are people who are lost spiritually. They're people who are
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: lost and they're on their way to a road of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: destruction and eternal separation from God. And we are born
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: again believers, and we just can let people who go
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: by us knowing that in our hearts, in our mind
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that we have a message, we have a a creator,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: we have a Savior that we could introduce these people
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: who are on this road of destruction. We could introduce
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: them to the Lord and Savior, the Lord Jesus. Man
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: don't let that opportunity to slide you by, and keep
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: on keeping on. Amen. Spiritually lost people, most of them,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: if not all of them, don't know they're lost unless
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: they know who or what they're doing is violating or
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: disobeying a holy, loving God. And trying to be careful
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: with my words. Every person born into this world, every
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: one of us inherits a simple nature, separated from God
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: because of sin. And a lot of people say that's unfair,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that's not right. Why well, God do it. It's to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: set up while we. God do that to us. Amen,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Because God is a loving God, a holy God, and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: a just God. But God the situation handled when He
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: sent his only begotten son to dine across from me
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and you Amen. He settled the issue once for all
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: when He died on that cross, and not only died,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: he rose again, showing all of the universe of his power,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: his glory, his majesty, and who he is. He has
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: got and God alone. Amen. Good morning, sister join, I
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: see you, Good morning, God, bless you. Thank you so
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: much for your prayer and your suggestions. I took those
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to heart and I really did it. How are you
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: feeling this morning? I hope you feel better. Yes, I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: feel much better, my sister, Amen, thank you for asking.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, good morning, my bro, little man
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: shots in the building. God bless you man, welcome back
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to the morning DeVos, Good morning, good morning. Yeah, I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: was hit with whatever, Robbie. If I would have went
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to the doctor that said it's COVID, you know the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: next level or whatever it is. So I says, you
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna just take a day rest and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: just gear up and get ready. If people who follow
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: me you know that I don't deal with sickness, I
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: fight it back right away. I don't play that. I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: don't play that. God bless you as well, a little
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: man Shots, It's good to see you, bro. So every
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: person born into this world inherits a sinful nature? Does
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: that seem fair? And maybe go find out in Luke
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: chapter nineteen, verse number ten, what Jesus has to say
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: about that. And man, if Jesus is God, like the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Bible says he is, why would he set us up
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to be sinners when we're born. It's almost like a setup.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It does sound like a setup for us to fail.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: But God has an answer for that. Thank you, Lord
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: for having an answer to that. So listen, let's go forward.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: We're gonna pray first. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: prayer requests, Thank you everybody who pray for me to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: get back my health and to get back into the studio.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Thank you for that. If you have questions, comments, concerns,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: prayer requests, could use a live chat to do that.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: If you're listening and soone is with a zeta ORRG
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to celebrate our network. Amen, thank you for listening, and
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: if you're on the podcast, thank you for your listening. Ears.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Let's pray. Father, I thank you so much for today,

• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Love God for keeping us safe, for keeping
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: us alive, for waking us up this morning. I pray
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a head you protection, surround us with your angels, your
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: ark ween angels to annihilate the tactics of the enemy.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: We push back every single evil, dark thing that tries
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to penetrate our lives, that try to invade our hearts
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and our mindsets. We come against those things in a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: powerful name of Jesus. As we see those fiery darts
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: coming our way, those fiery arrows coming our way we
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: lift up the shield of faith to block them all
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: in the power of the Lord Jesus. Thank you Holy
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Spirit for guiding us and leading us into all truth.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And thank you Love God for showing us how we
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: could lead the people who are spiritually lost into a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: place of hope into a place of eternal destiny with
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the Lord in a place of victory instead of defeat.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord God for using weak people like us
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to show how powerful you are and how strong you
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: are in our lives. I prayed, Lord God by faith,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: knowing that you hear these prayers and you answer them
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: according to every individual life that's listening and watching right now.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: In the powerful name of Jesus, I prayed it's by faith,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and those who agree, we say Amen to the Amen.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Spiritually lost people, what we're gonna do about it? I
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: always one spiritual loss to myself, So I know this
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: is a message for everybody who could relate to how
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: it is when you're christless, when you're without Christ, when
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: God is not in your life. People already know what
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that's all about, right, so be mindful of that. Not
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: everybody believes in the same Jesus that we believe in. Amen.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And people are still on their journey, so I respect that.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: But let's see what the Lord has to say. Let's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: sake minute, help me share this out. When we come back,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: we'll get right into today's Morning Deva. I'll be right back. Hey,

• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you and I bless you in the name of Jesus,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and I hope you have an amazing, incredible time at
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: your birthday this weekend. Lord willing amen, spiritually lost people.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Let's go for it. Let's go for it, because a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: lot of people get insulted if you ever go up
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to a person say may be lost. That's insulting. Amen,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And people want to know what you mean. I'm lost,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? A lot of people are
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: living their lives free from any care about God, free
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: from any care about the Lord Jesus, and they're living
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in life. And the said I'm trying to people say,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to do the best I can with what
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I was given. How I told you you were given
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a chance to live an abundant life, a victorious life,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: a life with Christ. Amen, that you are above not below.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: That you win, you don't lose. Right that you've made whole.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: You're not half a person. You're a whole person in Christ.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: You're not half a man and not half a woman. No,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you're hole in Christ. You are made perfect in God's eyes. Amen,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: by the eye. And I see you. Good morning, my bro,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: come bless you. Welcome back to the morning, Devo, my
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: friend and my brother. So let's put this on the screen.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Spiritually lost people. Amen, it's a thing, it happens, and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: there's people right now that are in desperate need for
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the Lord to change their hearts and minds, but they
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: don't know it. So we need to be kind. We
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: need to be listening before we speak. Amen. We need
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: to really talk to talk and walk the talk that
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: we're talking. Amen. In Christ and I believe people will
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: gravitate more to the Lord if they see the Lord's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: people doing what they say they're supposed to do. Amen. Luke,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Chapter nineteen, verse number ten. Jesus, our Lord, the Christ
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: himself said, for the son of Man has come to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: seek and to save that which was lost. So if
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you think that the Lord set us up to be sinners,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: born that way, and then to give us a solution,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you're wrong. And I was wrong. I was wrong because
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I thought that's what it was. I was wrong because
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I blame God for every bad thing that happened in
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: my life, even though I didn't believe in him, I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: didn't trust in him, I didn't want to know them,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I wasn't following them. Every bad thing that happened in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: my life, I blamed on God. Isn't that crazy? Because
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I knew in my heart even before Jesus saved my life,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I knew in my heart. There had to be someone
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: who was in control of everything that happened. For the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: son of Man, Jesus has come to seek and to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: save that which was lost. So if the Lord is saying, listen,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I came to seek the loss, what are we doing right?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Are we just going to church and looking for saved
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: people to talk to, or are we going outside of
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the church. We're building ourselves, equipping ourselves in the church
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: to go out and do the works in the ministry,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and that is to seek and to save that which
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: is lost. The same heart that Jesus gave us, Amen,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: is the same heart we should be moving in. Amen,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Moving in. So that's moving that you about this life,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: be about it. Amen. Everybody's doing their thing. There's people
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: out there doing their thing right, saying, oh, I don't
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: need God, I'm about this type of life xyz. And
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: they're moving in that direction. Respect, respect that they're doing
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: what they believe is right. They're doing what they believe
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: is true. Amen. So don't start pointing fingers and be like, oh,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: those people, those people, that's to me and my humble estimation,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that's black. If you're going around saying those people and
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: those people know they're doing exactly what they feel like doing,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: and they have a support system, right that endorses what
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: they're doing. Are you a part of the body of Christ?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Do you have a support system in the life. If
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you do, then you already know how we have to move.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: We're not supposed to move like the world. We're not
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: supposed to engage like the world. We're not supposed to
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: talk like the world. We're not supposed to act like
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the world. Amen, we could dress like the world, because listen,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: with out number when it comes to designers and manufacturers
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: of clothing and sneaker companies, we're outnumbered, so we kind
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: of like have to grab what they have. Amen, but
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: not really. I like what Forest Frank Frank Forrest Forest
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Frank is name, I forget how it is. He's a
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: worship singer and rapper. He says, Listen, I'm not going
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to the Grammys. I'm not going to the Double Wards
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. He says he's get a bow
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: out because he doesn't need a trophy. I like that
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: he doesn't need a trophy to show the world that
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: he's in Christ a man. He has the best trophy
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: in life, which is the Lord Jesus Christ. He has
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the best of reward award in life is being saved. Amen.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: So he's on a journey of separation, but he's not
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: knocking what's going on. He's telling people, listen, you want
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: to follow me, You're going to follow me in Christ.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I don't have to get awarded or rewarded for it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: So that's the vibe of a lot of things going on.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people don't like the word
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: vibe because it deals with frequencies, but it's a frequency
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: of love, hope, faith, trust in the Lord Jesus. Amen.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: The reality of spiritually lost people is a reality. Every
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: person is born into this world with a sinful nature.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: God answers that when he said that he came to
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: seek those which are lost, which are sinners? Right? Roman
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: chapter three, excuse me, Verse twenty three says for all
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: That humbles, that humbles anybody. There's a lot of people say,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've been a Christian for twenty years and
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I know this, and I know that that's great. Amen,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Praise the Lord. But you all fall short of the glory.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: We all fall short of the glorious standards of God.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: So we need a savior to keep us going. Amen.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: We need his spirit, Holy Spirit, God, to keep us
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: moving and leading us into all truth. Anything outside of that,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: if you try to do it on your own, you're
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: gonna fall flat on your face. Aymen. I was watching
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: some old westerns. I like these black and white movies, amen,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and these black and white TV shows. So I watched
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Channel two on direct TV and then some me TV
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: is called what it stands for But anyway, and they're
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: old school westerns, and there was a scene that there
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: was a young lady that was trying to entice and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: break up these two best friends. Right, So she invited
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: both of them to a date and said, you're gonna
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: be alone with me tonight. And she told the other guy,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the best friend, you to be loan with me tonight.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: So guess what happens. They both show up and the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: one best friend says, how are you gonna do this
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: to me? And other best friends? So I don't know
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: what you're talking about. They get into a big rumble.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: But anyway, my point is that over a situation where
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: it seems like a man it's an innocent thing. It
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: seems like you know you were invited. That's the way
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Sin does. Sin advites you and it seems like everything's okay.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: But he'll invite you and your best friend. He'll invite
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: you and your brother. He'll invite you and your sister.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: He'll invite you and your mom or your dad to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: cause a fight, to cause a quarrel. But there's another
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: scene that there was a bet going on. The bet
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: was like, I bet you when you see that young
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: lady that was in the wagon, that you'll fall flat
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: on your face. So when the dude rolled up on
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: his horse, he looked at the woman and he tried
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: to get off the horse, and he fell flat on
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: his face. How many times have you fallen flat on
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: your face when you're trying to do things outside of
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the will of God, when you're positioning yourself to just
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: have self pleasure and not worry about anybody else, including God,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: You're gonna fall flat on your face, right, I felt
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: flat on my face plenty of times when I try
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: to go a different direction than God wants me to go. Yeah,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you straight up. Sometimes against lonely, a lot
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of people say, well, me and a Christian is amazing.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: It is amazing. Oh, and I'm part of a good church.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Praise the Lord. If you're part of a good church,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: part of a community that lifts you up and encourages
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: you and all that. But in those communities sometimes there's
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: haters and there's a separation that God is doing. Amen.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: When people see you glowing and growing in Christ, best
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: believe there's other people in that crowd that don't want
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: to be a part of you, a man, because they
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: themselves don't want to grow and glow in Christ. They
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: want to hide in secret sin. They want to bandwid
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: believers that are in dark places and have this secrecy
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: going on amongst the church people. I'll say church people,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I won't say the body of Christ. The body of
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Christ and church people to me are totally different. Amen.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: But I don't want to go down that direction. So
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: be mindful of that. Not everybody is going to want
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: to see you glow and grow in the things of
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the Lord. They're all around us. Amen. So when you
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: see a person who's inspired by Holy Spirit that wants
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to grow in Christ, Amen, gravitate towards those people because
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: they gonna want to see you glow and grow in Christ.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: As well. Amen. You see it, right, Sister Joan. All
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the time it happens. So the separation that I'm talking
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: about means humanity cannot reach God through good deeds, through
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: religion or moral effort. I try my best right to
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: respect people. I just don't like to be disrespected. I
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: don't know about you, right, I try. When I prose
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: somebody with kindness and love respect, I kind of like,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: in the back of my mind expect that. But I
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: have to be mindful that not everybody is like that.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: So when I sense that, Okay, this person is a
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: little hyper right now, this person has this bad energy
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: going on. Got to take that into account. Depending if
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I'm by myself or my family, or we're friends, I
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: have to take a step back and analyze that. You
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: could pray right in your mind. You could pray. You
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: don't have to speak out loud in front of the person,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: but just be mindful. We're living in a world where
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of broken people, a lot of mental
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: health issues going on in our society, so we have
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to be mindful of all of that. So without Christ,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: people are spiritually blind. People don't have eyes to see
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: because they don't have the eyes that God wants to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: open in their lives. They're walking in darkness unaware of
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the danger of eternal separation from God. Eternal not just like, oh, man,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be without Christ for like a week if
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you keep on moving. No, it could be in internal
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: separation forever times Infinity a man. And unfortunately, there's people
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: that disguise themselves as Christ followers and they go to
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: these buildings and houses of worship, and they're in ministry
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: some of them, and they're acting like nobody knows that
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: they're in darkness. But listen, when you walk into a
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: place full of light, everybody's darkness is exposed. It's just
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the grace of God that's covering. And I don't mean
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: hiding things. I don't mean sweeping things under the rug.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: And that's too much going on. I see that a lot.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: To the ministries and in churches. We can't be hiding
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: people's sin all the time because those people, especially if
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: they're in places of leadership or places and positions of
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: leadership in the church body, in the Church of God
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: a man, they're leading people. And if people who are
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: being led by people who are are being covered for
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: their sins, guess what the followers. And I know one
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: hundred percent a fact that people who follow the type
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of people, they start doing the same thing. One hundred percent,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I know it. And that's what we got to be
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: mindful of. These people who are spiritually lost. Amen, they
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: think they're doing the right things, but they're not. In
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: their word, they don't pray, they don't want to grow
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: further than what they have. And the flesh, the flesh,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, doesn't want anything to do with you
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: glowing and growing in Christ. I'm telling you right now,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the flesh is totally an enemy of what the Spirit
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: of God wants to do in your life and in
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: my life. So be mindful of that. I wrote a
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: book about it. That's how much I know about that.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: It's called The Flesh Is a Monster. Check it out
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: on Amazon. So Jesus described his mission by saying he
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: came to have the solution for these spiritually lost people.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: He came to seek and save that which was I
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: love it past sense was lost. Because if you have
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, with the
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Lord himself, you're not lost anymore. He found you where
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: you was to take you to where he is. He
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: meets you where you are to take you where he
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: is going or where he is. That's the amazing thing
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: about the Lord Jesus. He doesn't look at you and
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: me when we were in darkness to say, well, that
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: was your fault. You're there and you stay there and
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: you have no way of getting out. He doesn't say that,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: He doesn't act like that, doesn't respond to anybody like that.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Read your scriptures and you won't see Jesus doing that
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: to any single person who called upon his name to
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: be saved. Amn. He comes with compassion, He comes with truth, love, grace, mercy, power, authority.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: He has everything you and I need. It's in him,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: in Christ Jesus. And then when we get that, we
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: could move like that. But the Frank I see you.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Good morning, God, bless you and everybody on the morning Debo.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your blessing. My bro, my friend, it's
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: good to see you. Thank you so much for hanging
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: out with us on Hispanic Heritage Fellowship event. A man,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. So listen, if people
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: weren't lost, first of all, there would be no need
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: for a savior. So it seems like it's unfair that
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: we're born into sin. That's why Jesus came so we
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: could be born again. Jesus is holy, God is holy
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and just and loving. Because of his just characteristics that
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: he's full of justice. Amen, he had to handle sin,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and he handled it through the blood of the Lord
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Now you're born into sin because of the
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: fallen nature of man. Genesis chapter three. You read that
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and you say, Okay, that's why we have sin, sickness, death, murder,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff in the hearts of men. Because
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the Genesis three Adam and Eve they disobeyed a holy,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: loving God. So, because God is holy, loving and just,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: justice had to be served. But because men fell, that
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: created a need for a redeemer. And that redeemer is
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. And that redeemer still lives, and that redeemer
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: still saves, and that redeemer is still alive today in
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the hearts of men and women all around this world.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Save people are redeemed, people are forgiving people. So when
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: we get to heaven, we're not going to see good
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: people there. We're gonna see saved people there. When we
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: get to heaven, we're not going to see religious people there.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: We're going to see people who had a relationship with
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus. When we get to heaven, Amen, we're
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: gonna be surprised of who repented. Maybe the last breath,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: they repented and the Lord, because of his grace, amazing grace,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: allowed them to go in to the next level with
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: him in paradise. In heaven, it's gonna be an amazing thing.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: And it's an amazing thing right now. And our side
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: of eternity when we come, move in a way that
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: will take people to a place of victory. Why would
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: anybody want to beat down somebody who's already beaten down.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Why would anybody want to put people more in darkness
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: than they already are in darkness. Why would deaf people
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: want to shout at someone like why would you shout
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: at a deaf person They can't hear you. Amen, they
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: need to be embraced. Why would you push a blind
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: person in the middle of the highway. That won't be
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: good either, that'd be cruelty. Right, So we have to
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: lead them, take their hand and lead them. So the
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: deaf people can't hear, so we have to embrace them.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: The blind people can't see, so we have to grab
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: their hand and lead them. That's what the Lord said.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: He did that he came to seek and to save
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: that which was lost. Right, So if people weren't lost,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't be a need for a savior. But the
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: fact that Jesus Christ himself came shows how desperate our
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: condition really is. Because if the Lord had to come himself,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: if God had to form and fashion himself as a
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: man that come on his planets to show the way,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the truth and the life himself, that means we're in
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: descin need of help. He sent prophets and on the prophets,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: but pretty much rejected. Right. He placed people on this
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: earth to show the glory of God. He used Moses,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: he used David, he used the prophets. Amen Ezekiu, I
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: know the preacher's prophet that every preacher wants to abuse
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Elijah and Elisha. Amen. I heard those preachings a million
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: and ten times. Amen. But it's true because it's in
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the scripture, so that it's valid that they preach about
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Elijah the prophet. But everything that God used and every
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: person that God used had issues, except for himself, when
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: he sent his only begotten son to show us the way,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: the truth, and the life that lived the perfect life,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: sinless life, a life of compassion, love, grace, mercy. And
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: he spoke to the people. He embraced sinners, He healed
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: the sinner, He forgave the sinners, Amen, And he gave
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the born again experience, died on the cross and rose again.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: None of the prophets could top the Lord Jesus, Amen,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: none of them. So we know sin was the issue,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and sin is the separator. Sin separates humanity from God.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Sin doesn't just separate atheists from God. Sin doesn't just
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: separate the alphabet community. No, sin separates all of us
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: from God. Like stop pointing fingers at certain communities, ladies
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, saying, those people know, we all were separated
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: from God until we repented. Amen. Sin is not just
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: bad things. It's a rebellion against God's holiness and against
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: his authority, and it creates a deep divide that no
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: human effort, no human effort can cross. And man, I'm
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: out of time. That's why I keep on looking at
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: this clock over here. So listen, I'm out of time.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: We were in Luke chapter nineteen, Amen, verse number ten
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: where the Lord spoke. Read Luke Chapter nineteen the whole
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: chapter to get the context of where the Lord Jesus
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: was coming from. Amen. And I believe Holy Spirit will
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: get you to a place of that revelation and you'll
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: get into this mode of wanting to go and do
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: exactly what the Lord wants you to do in your
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: life in this such a time as this. Amen. So
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I'm out of here. God bless you all. Got to
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: keep you all remember always that God is good. God
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: bless you. Love you too, brother Frank. It's good to
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: see you. Thank you so much for the love. God
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: bless you. Peace.
